Mighty Avengers #1 [Spoilers]

Assorted thoughts:

The team line-up isn't bad, although I notice that out of the three female members, Tony Stark has slept with at least two of them.

I like Carol as leader, and am wondering how long before she and Stark have a real showdown on some substantial point of disagreement.

Tony is building a new helicarrier. (So much--presumably--for the missing Nick Fury's ability to peer into SHIELD goings-on easily.) According to the comic, the original was designed by Tony along with Reed Richards, while the new one is "a sole copyright of Stark Industries." Wonder whether the next director of SHIELD will feel secure in it, because I'm guessing there's plenty in it that isn't going into the general handbook. Tony thinks ahead ("futurist," right?) and my thought is that this could be is his way of keeping his hand in even at a point in the future when he's no longer a part of SHIELD.

Carol's ambivalance about the Wasp. She thinks she's a good hero, but clearly doesn't care for her as a person ("Focus on the monsters, you unbelievable tramp."). This is new, but not particularly out of character--Carol's approach to Avenging has always been very direct and professional, while the Wasp has always had fun with her job--doesn't mean she doesn't take it seriously, just a different approach.

The Sentry. Tony seem awfully optimistic about him, and I think it's likely he just wants to keep Bob where he can see him. He's fun to watch, though.

The Mole Man! I love the Mole Man! That's nostalgia talking, by the way--the Mole Man was one of my favorite old Fantastic Four villains--but I'm still always happy when he turns up.

The big finish, with Iron Man morphing into Girl Ultron. Presumably this is even possible only because of Extremis. I'm not sure what the benefit of the new form would be for Ultron, who has always identified as a boy robot in the past (to the point of creating a female-bodied bride for himself back in the 70s), but I guess we'll find out. If there turns out to be no actual reason for it (other than "ooh! hot sexy robot chick!"), I'll find that disappointing.
